DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clayton Bailey, co-founder of the litigation boutique Bailey Brauer PLLC, has been named to the 2025 edition of The Dallas 500, a listing of the most influential North Texas-based executives in more than 60 industries and business categories.
Produced by the editors of D CEO magazine, The Dallas 500 is a highly selective listing of the region’s most powerful and influential business leaders, based on extensive interviews with high-level contacts in the regional business community and months of editorial research.
Mr. Bailey has tried cases in federal district and bankruptcy courts as well as state and appellate courts throughout the country, representing clients across a wide range of industries in matters involving contract disputes, business torts, RICO, employment law, trade secrets, deceptive trade practices, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, antitrust and unfair business practices.
Among the nation’s preeminent agribusiness attorneys, Mr. Bailey currently serves as national COVID-19 litigation and appellate counsel for several of the world’s largest meat companies. He lent his industry expertise to the American Bar Association for its “Agriculture and Food Handbook,” contributing his authoritative voice to sections exploring issues affecting the beef and poultry industries, and an examination of the administration and enforcement of the USDA’s Packers and Stockyards Act.
“Clayton’s work has a truly far-reaching impact on the nation’s food supply, but he may be one of North Texas’ best-kept legal secrets because the types of cases he works on routinely take him all across the country rather than to local courthouses,” said Bailey Brauer co-founder Alex Brauer. “He has always been the embodiment of professionalism, and his leadership is evident in everything we do at Bailey Brauer.”
Prior to opening Bailey Brauer in 2013 with Mr. Brauer, Mr. Bailey served as head of the litigation section at Baker & McKenzie. His work has earned numerous professional honors from Benchmark Litigation, The Best Lawyers in America, Texas Super Lawyers, Lawdragon 500, the National Trial Lawyers, American Lawyer, Texas Lawyer, The National Law Journal and BTI Consulting.
